Enroute home I had some dead time in Delhi on August 1. As I was travelling with two young kids, some decent lodging to have a nap and shower, was imperative. I booked this hotel by directly contacting the property through email. They offered me a room for INR 1500 for 8 hours, everything included except transfer. I thought INR 1500 was not a bad deal and thus consented to the offer.

The room was clean and worth its price.
Bathroom was of good standard to be a budget hotel in India, toiletries of acceptable quality.
Wifi was ok.

As far as location is considered, it all depends upon what you are looking for. If you are out to enjoy the true hustle bustle of India, it is a perfect choice … congested, mainstream India with all its salient features. But if you are allergic of crowd, hullaballoo and wanted to have something silent and calm, avoid this hotel … rather avoid the locality Karol Bagh altogether.

The hotel asks for INR 700 for a taxi to the airport, which is quite unreasonable. Air-conditioned radio taxi would cost at the most INR 450.

Of course, there are much better alternatives. However, in short, I would recommend this hotel if you are looking something in this price class.

A general tip: Try as far as practically possible, have your deals in writing, explicitly mentioning what it includes and what it doesn’t. Otherwise, you will be bitterly surprised at the end.

First of all, it should be clear to visitors that we are talking about budget alternative not a property in luxury segment. Thus, it would be unreasonable and irrational to expect everything at its best. Taking the rates in account I would say …

1. Hotel rooms are adequately clean.
2. Toilet/bathroom = above average
3. Maharaja suit could be a nice option for families travelling with young kids and tight budget.

Location is not the ideal one … but not that bad either.

Conclusion: Honestly speaking Sri Nanak deserves better rating than the one it currently holds (27).

The Sri Nanak is a cozy place in a busy Delhi location. It's not within walking distance of much, but you'll feel like you're in real Delhi.

We stayed here twice, and had a different room each time. The two rooms we had were both comfortable and clean, but one room was definitely more recently renovated in than the other.

On Christmas Day, we were treated to a free simple dinner in the restaurant upstairs.

Practicalities:
Free internet access from a computer terminal. There are small grocery shops, pharmacies and restaurants nearby. The hotel staff is courteous and responsive to needs. The hotel also felt safe. Get detailed instructions on how to get to the hotel because taxi drivers seem to have difficulty finding it. Overall, great for the price.

Though I stayed at the hotel just for a night, I found the hotel very comfortable and peaceful. The interior of the hotel room was very good. The hotel is located in the heart of the city, Karol Bagh. The staff was very co-operative and helpful. I would certainly recommend this hotel to my relatives and friends.
